Title: Elegant Stay in the Heart of Chicago Hotel Blake offers a luxurious experience in the vibrant city of Chicago. From the moment you step into the grand lobby, you're greeted with warmth and sophistication. The staff is attentive and goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is memorable. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated, and equipped with modern amenities. The comfortable beds provide a restful night's sleep after a day of exploring the city. The views from higher floors are breathtaking, offering a glimpse of Chicago's iconic skyline. The location is unbeatable, situated in the historic Printers Row neighborhood, with easy access to top attractions such as Millennium Park, the Art Institute of Chicago, and Grant Park. Plus, the hotel is within walking distance to numerous dining and shopping options. One highlight of Hotel Blake is its excellent dining options. The on-site restaurant serves delicious cuisine with a focus on locally sourced ingredients, and the bar offers an impressive selection of craft cocktails. Whether you're visiting Chicago for business or pleasure, Hotel Blake provides the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in the Windy City.

The staff here was amazing! Everyone was kind and accommodating. We loved the hotel overall, only downside is it was $50 a day for valet parking but that is pretty much the standard at any hotel in Chicago. Although pricey, the valet experience was great! Never waited long for our car to be brought around and it was nice to not have to worry about parking when arriving back to the hotel, as we did come and go pretty frequently.

Will return to Hotel Blake!
Like 👍 my review! We had a 4 night stay at "Hotel Blake, Ascend Resort Collection" and it exceeded our expectations! Given that this was our first time to Chicago, Illinois, we chose Hotel Blake due to its proximity to several CTA (Chicago Transit Agency) "L" and subway stations for easy sightseeing access, the hotel's solid reviews online, and walkability including more sightseeing in the Loop and a nearby venue hosting a wedding we attended. From check in to check out, we loved the professionalism of the staff. The hotel's beautiful lobby serves coffee and tea in the morning with ice water and infused berry water in the afternoon and evening. The highlight was the room that we had; it was absolutely gorgeous and very comfortable! Although we didn't have a view, we had complete privacy and the black out curtains were excellent for a good night's sleep. The internet was overall good with no issues connecting aside from one of our Windows laptop. The flat screen television was excellent with several channels for us to watch as we woke up, wind down, or hang out. If you are sensitive to light while going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, bring a night light! Although there is no breakfast, there is a nearby restaurant that was really good for pick up or dine in! The gym had a treadmill, Peloton bike, and weights, each with a city view. All in all, we would love to return to Hotel Blake in the future and would highly recommend it to our friends, family, and strangers!
